Active Flood Mitigation Protocol

From the first call to the last walk-through, our flood damage restoration workflow in Ogdensburg runs through five core phases. Our Ogdensburg-based crews are dispatched within minutes of your call and on-site anywhere in Sussex County, including Franklin, Hamburg, and Lake Mohawk. Each phase has measurable exit criteria before we move on. Moisture readings. Equipment counts. Photographic documentation.

1. Inspection & Moisture Mapping — Thermal imaging and pin-type moisture meters identify the full extent of water intrusion, including hidden moisture in wall cavities, subflooring, and ceiling assemblies that visual inspection alone would miss.
2. Water Extraction — Truck-mounted or portable vacuum extractors remove standing water and surface moisture from carpet, padding, hard surfaces, and confined cavities. Effective extraction reduces total drying time by hours or days.
3. Structural Drying — Calibrated low-grain refrigerant or LGR dehumidifiers paired with axial and centrifugal air movers create a controlled drying environment. Equipment counts follow IICRC chamber-math formulas based on cubic footage and saturation level.
4. Antimicrobial Treatment — EPA-registered antimicrobials are applied to affected surfaces to prevent microbial growth during the drying period and to neutralize any organisms already present in Category 2 or Category 3 water.
5. Final Verification & Documentation — Daily moisture logs, photographic records, equipment receipts, and final dry-to-baseline readings are compiled into a documentation package for your insurance adjuster and your records.
